It is common for children to experience fear and anxiety throughout the course of their young lives, which is why it is important to equip children in therapy with tools and strategies to effectively handle stressful situations and learn how to face their fears. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most empirically supported approach to treating anxiety disorders, in both children and adults, for several reasons. The approach provides an opportunity for the client to take ownership in the treatment process, fosters social and cognitive learning, and encourages self-regulation and problem-solving skills. In this video, Dr. Bonnie Zucker works with a young female client to demonstrate specific CBT techniques and strategies to help the child face her fears in a gradual, step-by-step fashion.
